#Bad boys for life movie#

Rewind to the start of the 'movie', Smith and Lawrence are driving like lunatics, being chased by cops, driving backwards through red lights and heavy traffic.they're trying to make you think the boys are in a dangerous situation.just to find out that Smith was driving Lawrence to the hospital to see his newly born Grandson. Miyagi ('No fighting, no fighting, no fighting.ok, go ahead and fight') and predictably went back into action again. Of course, Lawrence broke his promise to God at the end anyway because he did the Mr. It seemed unlikely than a rather non-religious, non-churchgoer like Lawrence would be risking losing his friendship (and his friend's life because he was in danger) based on some mumbling he did while that buddy was in the hospital.

I think he took the Cypress Hill lyric 'Fat boy on diet, don't try it' to extremes! At one point when Lawrence was walking away on a wooden floor, It sounded like an orchestra of squeaky nails and groaning floorboards playing him out of the room! Back to the 'plot'.Lawrence whines throughout the movie about a promise he made to God.

And, wow, Martin Lawrence.at one point on set, the crew thought they were going to have call the paramedics because Lawrence was having trouble inhaling - a pizza! He's so fat now, he jumped in the air for an action scene and got stuck! I'm serious.on the running/action scenes, you won't see Lawrence for more than 5 seconds straight, most likely due to being out of breath. It was really that pathetically predictable. Will Smith gets badly shot 10 minutes into the movie.is he gonna make it through?!?! Aw, man, no way.he made it! You don't say! Martin Lawrence.'No, no no, I'm not helping you any more Mike Lowery.I made a promise to God.No, no, no.I'm retired' - I looked over at my buddy at one point and I said 'Uh.I think he's gonna help'. I can't think of a worse movie I've ever seen. Instead its more like Beverly Hills Cop III and becomes a sad entry in an otherwise solid franchise. This could have been like Lethal Weapon IV and had some fun with its theme of the loose cannon dealing with aging. While some praise the visuals, I criticize its effect of pushing the viewer further away rather than drawing them in. It feels more like you're watching somebody else play a video game. Modern day use of CGI and such does the exact opposite. The great Sam Peckinpah once said of the violence in his films that he wanted the audience to feel the impact of getting shot. Here they just sound like an old married couple who have grown tired of each other.

The laughs from the first two movies came from the strong chemistry between the two leads and how they could argue in the middle of gun fights, car chases, etc. The biggest casualty is the riffing between the Lawrence and Smith, which practically rips the soul right out of the franchise. Maybe the earlier entries hold something dear to his heart and he wouldn't have allowed this to go off the rails.

I never thought I would say this.but I wish Michael Bay had directed this.
